Jeffries made his verbal commitment over the phone last night in a conversation with Joker Phillips. He chose the Wildcats over an offer from Louisville and interest from Michigan, West Virginia, Ohio State and Tennessee. He recently took an unofficial visit to watch the Buckeyes, as well as Louisville.

Jeffries had been reportedly looking to make a decision soon. "My decision will come down to a place that has good coaching, a nice campus and good facilities."

Jeffries confirmed the commitment after St. Xavier defeated Male High School, 28-23 to extend their undefeated record to 9-0.
